sports animal just read the release.

Pat states she was NOT forced out and never felt she was forced out. If she had been it would have been met with resistance..

What a classy lady

This is crazy, Debbie wanting her money and revenge has dragged Pat into this. Out of respect for Pat you would think she would let it go. Pat just wants to live her life and not make any hardships.

Now she is making it look like Hart dosen't have the authority to fire her, I say he hires her back for one day, just to fire her again.

Hart wouldn't have the authority to fire her.

Like it or not, Summitt could have done anything she damn well pleased in her tenure here.

Can't believe some of you pick Hart over Summit. What a joke. And you love Dooleave better to boot. Quit acting like tards and support the REAL successful people of this university instead of these Bama/La Tech rejects.

It will be interesting to see if a settlement happens soon.If it does then we know why Pat contradicted her affidavit.

Considering the butt chugger's cousin signed a sworn affidavit saying he didn't say they were butt chugging even though he definitely said it to the police (even if the KDP hates the greek community they can't even begin to make that up) - I would say Summit's most recent statement holds the most weight.

Maybe I am wrong. Todays statement really doesn't change much, except to take the heat off of Hart. She never used the words "forced out" in her affadavit. Todays statement doesn't say there was not a "one on one meeting" and Hart had a subsequent meeting saying that Summitt "misinterpreted" what he said.

Her statement today was very clear "on this point" about not being forced out, but it doesn't refute her affadavit either. UT came out with a statement almost immediately after Summitt's though I haven't seen it in print yet, heard on the radio.

I know some are going to say it's just semantics and maybe it is. But lawyers for both parties craft their statements and affadavits... and the words they choose to use matter.

This may take a little heat off of Hart in the short term, but he's still got to deal with the issues surrounding the fact that Summitt walked out of a meeting with him and told not only Jennings, but others what she thought the intentions of Hart were. Not to mention the other point of her affadavit saying that Summitt requested a meeting to discuss the logo and Hart told her one thing and told reporters something else.

I am not sure that there is any contradiction between the statement and affidavit. She said she felt one way after the first meeting but once she consulted her doctor and friends she felt another. I bet it did hurt to be told that she was not up to the task anymore and a change needed to be made. How could it not? But to her credit, once she had time to think about it she was on board. That is what it sounds like to me. Dementia can play havoc with your emotions just as much as it can your faculties so I am sure that only made it all the harder.

There is NOTHING shocking about a supervisor making a decision that someone with dementia is not up to the job anymore. It doesn't matter if it is Pat, or Albert Einstein, or Mother Teresa, or any other icon you can name. Our heroes are not immune to the same diseases that strike everyone else down. Where people get the idea that Pat should have been the one to decide when it was time to go while she was suffering from a disease affecting her decision making capabilities is something I will never understand. It is absurd and a product of pure emotionalism.

Jennings apparently did not wait until she was in possession of ALL of the facts before she went ballistic and that supports what Hart was saying about her being insubordinate or difficult to work with and her not supporting the changes that needed to be made. At least I am assuming she only knew of the first meeting and not the subsequent ones or of Pat's evolving feelings. If she knew of the latter and still proceeded with this farce...

The whole thing is sad and Pat does not need the extra stress with her condition being what it is. She appears content with her station and has even said she would fight were it otherwise so everyone else should be content as well.

Whatever agenda is at work in people's minds it is not Pat's agenda nor the university's agenda. The lawsuit is not helping Pat in any way, shape or form... quite the opposite. Whether Jennings has a claim on her own behalf is another issue but what happened with Pat is not relevant to the merit of Jennings' case and it is despicable that Pat has been drug into this as a means of extorting a settlement. At least that is how I see it barring any more facts to the contrary being unearthed.

I don't quite see how that's still an issue.

Summitt's statement was rather clear, IMO.


Maybe she did initially felt hurt, but realized transitioning to the Emeritus role was the best resolution for all involved.

Even trying to draw all kinds of thing out of the affidavit and Friday's statement, that's about best I can come up with. I don't see the other stuff.

DUH, that still wont stop the wing nuts from their theories.

LIKE Pat said in the article, IF they had attempted to force her out, they would have met "resistance"

Now, Debbie take you severance pay, you lawsuit and hit the road.

Hart had to say something to her in that first meeting, if Pat left it and told people afterwards that Hart was forcing her out.
